I did
keep provisions for a relatively easy conversion to a mechanical pump in the
event of failure of the EWP experiment, however due to time constraints
myself, I really just want to get a few necessary items taken care of, then
get it back to the airport and get back in the air. Besides I can already hear
the naysayers banging the anti-EWP drum, even if I did remove it only for an
experiment….I’d have to do it in secretJ

Re: Electric Water pumps - Interesting
Hey,
Todd. If I put any more items on my projects-to-do list, I would
have to ask the Man upstairs for a much longer extension {:>). I
would love to do more experimenting, but feel its time for the "younger
generation" to take over the reigns.
How are
would it be to slap the mechanical pump back in your installation - I mean its
to cold to fly up there in the winter time anyhow {:>)

I
think Ed is just trying to egg me on, knowing the attachment I have to this
subjectJ.
Referring to Bob who reported marginal cooling with his EWP, it would
have been nice to know how the system would perform with a mechanical pump.
I’m satisfied with the performance of my Davis Craig EWP, even though it is
somewhat marginal on hot days during a 3 minute 2000fpm climbout with boost.
But I doubt the mechanical pump would do any better. I’d like to improve my
cooling system, starting with my hailstorm damaged evap cores, but I’m still
committed to using my EWP.
I guess until we can get a true experimental minded type of guy who
already has a successful mechanical cooled system, to switch over to an EWP
with no other system modifications, then we will never really answer this
question.
Gee Ed, you sound bored... It’d be a great way to pass the
summer?

Re: Electric Water pumps - Interesting
I was just
thumbing through a recent catalog from Summit Racing and came across a couple
of pages on electric water pumps. There has always been a degree of
interest (and some debate {:>)) regarding the use of electric water pumps
in aircraft.
Are you really that
bored Ed? Maybe trying to stir up some lively conversation, and tired of
the same old fuse breaker topic :-)
I'm off to run the
single rotor again, now that I've got the RD-1C drive back on it.
Don't tell anyone, but it's only got an electric water pump
